WW1 British BEF Royal Artillery Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF Royal Artillery Cap Badge is an original insignia worn by members of the Royal Artillery serving in the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War. The badge is typically crafted from brass and features the iconic design of a field gun surmounted by a crown, with a scroll bearing the motto “Ubique” (meaning “Everywhere”) and “Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt” (meaning “Where Right and Glory Lead”). Standard issue for Royal Artillery personnel, the badge was worn on the service cap and helped identify the wearer’s branch and regiment. Badges of this type were produced in large quantities between 1914 and 1918 and may display period-specific manufacturing characteristics, such as lug or slider fittings on the reverse. This example reflects the distinguishing features associated with World War One Royal Artillery cap badges and serves as an authentic piece of British military history from the conflict.
